sysusers: add a new RPM macro for creating users directly from data passed in via stdin

System Internals / systemd - Lennart Poettering [poettering.net] - 18 August 2014 19:16 UTC

This allows encoding users to create directly in %pre, which is necessary so that files owned by the RPM can be assigned to the right users/groups.

This new macro does create a redundancy, as user definitions for all users that shall own files need to to be listed twice, once with this new macro, and then secondly, in the sysusers file shipped with the package. But there's little way around that, as the users of this type need to exist before we install the first file, but we actually want to ship the user information in a file.
